losing someone is terrible… but grieving and living with that big suck… that’s even harder…
i wish i read this one sooner, after losing my cousin who meant the world to me, i was just as lonely and sad as tiger..
this book is great for grieving people, friends of grieving people, people without any contact to grieving…
this is a beautiful, heartbreaking and at the same time healing book! 
(still not as good as girl in pieces tho)
thank you kathleen glasgow for turning the hard things life into something wonderful!!
